Should Mineplex Re-add Gem Fountain?

Yes

No

Today i was thinking about the games on the Mineplex server and i remembered that there was a game every weekend, as far as i remember there was OP Bridges. A lot of players had fun playing it. So i really want that to be back on Mineplex.
Also the Gem Fountain would help players who have too many gems to spend them that way. Because in my opinion over the years gems lost their value and this can be the way for people with ton of gems to spend them. I also have a suggestion that we can vote for the game by paying with gems (or maybe when i think about it it's not really good idea because people with many gems will always decide which game to play)
With this thread I just wanted to remind you of this game and Gem Fountain!

I've commented on a thread like this before, and my answer was to not reimplement it. The reason being is that the gem fountain was initially removed due to the lack of players who played the weekly games. When gem fountain was first introduced, a lot of players participated in the games. As time went on, fewer players participated and even got to the point where games just weren't filling.

Bring it back on the network, who knows if this will happen again? Because if it did there would be no point to it. Also an issue I saw back then when gem fountain was a thing was that there were repeat games for the weekends or the same 3 games. You would only see Minestrike SG, Op bridges, or Random kits SSM.

I wouldn't be opposed to having the fountain back, but mineplex would need to make a consistent effort in making sure it is properly taken care of, and newer games are introduced just so they can keep the interest of the players.

Unfortunately I agree with @Unfavorited. It was popular when it first came out, then quickly lost popularity in a matter of weeks. I don't see it being something devs should work on in the near future, and if it was readded, it would have to have some changes made to keep players interested in it.

I think the main issue with re-adding the gem fountain is the same issue that it was removed for: The lack of use. Not enough players would deposit gems into it, even more so towards the end of it's life span. I don't think that re-adding it would change anything. It's also to be noted that game activity is already pretty mixed. If it takes a few minutes for a regular bridges game to start, how can we expect a OP Bridges to start at all?

Overall, I don't agree with this idea. I think that it might just end up removed again because the lack of use. If you'd like to see certain game-modes from the gem foundation return, maybe you should suggest they be added to MPSs.

The main reason why the gem fountain was removed was due to a lack of players. As others stated above, if this were to be implemented then it may again suffer from very little use. Plus, developers would need to come up with something every week, which takes up a lot of development time and effort. Therefore, I don’t see this being planned in the future.

As stated by the lovely users above, the Gem Fountain was successful within its first few weeks, but then it slowly lost popularity. One of the main issues with the Gem Fountain was that the new gamemodes that were implemented were underdeveloped. Many of the games contained numerous bugs and balancing issues which made these games unenjoyable. We won't be re-adding the Gem Fountain because it quickly lost popularity and we would rather use these resources into other projects.

The map looks really open, with straight lines down the middle of the roads along the entire map. My knowledge of paintball isn't the best, but I think this would make the sniper kit really overpowered and it would be unbalanced, considering you can snipe someone instantly as the game starts from one spawn to the other. Perhaps you could make that middle bridge into a railway with a train…

Players would be given 16 fireworks each and the objective of the game would be to fly through a series of hoops without crashing if they crash or miss a hoop they either die or suffer a time penalty or elytra disables for 3 seconds (Not sure yet i'll put a poll).

I usually go to school, realise that it's the worst place I have ever been to, so my favorite travel route is going back home from school.
I mean, I answered the question from the title... right?
Anyhow, my favorite place to go to is my dad's home village on the seaside, where I have a few friends and relatives. I usually go there for summer vacation for a month or so, and I love how…

I saw this on an advert once for a movie YEARS AGO.
Anyway. I think that this will be a pretty interesting thread, so let’s say that you say “the dog ate my homework” (as a lie) but the twist is, the dog actually ate itPost your answers down below!…

Hey!
I like the idea of the game. But, this is very similar to wither assault and kind of similar to dragon escape (eh not really but kinda). Also, I feel like the developers should focus on a main game instead of more minigames to come out with.
I like the game I just don't think it is needed. But, I wouldn't be opposed to it and I would probably play the game.

Wow! I actually never realised it’s been a year since this website was launched, thanks for reminding me ^-^. I still remember the day this website was launched and the confusion I went through because when logging in I was using the details of my enjoin account! After a few days I realised this is a xenforo website and then I created my account.
Time flies right?…

Hello,
I am going to have to agree with those above. Adding enchanted golden apples to cake wars would be way too unbalanced and would make the game unfair. There are already several ways to regenerate, and adding a method like this that lets you regen almost instantly would not fit well in cake wars. It can be fun to play games with OP items, however, for regular public cake wars, not so…

I actually really like both ideas and I'll go ahead and give feedback to both.
The warriors kit change I think it much needed due to me not seeing a ton of people using the warrior kit and therefore it becoming kind of a useless kit. I think taking away regen and adding the extra damage on…

hey!
I definitely believe we should be able to donate gems in-game. I don’t see a reason why not and what’s the problem with giving more people gems.
I do believe there should be a “tax” on sending gems just so it isn’t abused completely like flute said.
But other than that... +1…

If you're having problems with bad teammates I would recommend building a party of friends or people you know are experienced in the game and then join a Cake Wars game, so you won't have random or possibly bad teammates. Everyone plays the game differently and I don't think someone building to the middle straight away doesn't mean they are "bad." It's a…
